Religious Organisations in Johannesburg

To provide, as well as provide aid and relief to members of our community, for the secular and religious need, being a community based organisation, who are indigent and are found to be in impovrished circumstances.

The seed planted by a handful of dedicated people has grown into a sturdy tree that has produced valuable fruits. The MAIK has played a significant role in the struggle for the liberation of oppressed South Africans and contributed towards the need for building of a non-racial, non-sexist and united South Africa. The primary objective of our association is to provide; being a community based organisation, for the secular and religious need, as well as to provide aid and relief to members of our community, who are indigent and are found to be in impoverished circumstances. Providing for the education of the youth with no limitations on subjects, or duration or levels of study, and makes no distinction between genders. With the new spirit of co-operation for mutual aid and assistance now prevailing our community, the future of our people is being built on solid foundations. Man is always seeking to better his standard of living, seeking greener pastures. Although vast and rich in natural resources, there were still opportunities sought beyond her shores. Indians from Gujerat were employed on the Dutch, British and Arab ships and thus made their way to the Indian Ocean Island of Mauritius, the Seychelles, Mombasa and the eastern coastal sea ports of Africa. They sailed as far as the West Indies to the British and the Dutch colonies. A photo of Bhayat with Gandhi appears in the Heidelberg Museum. It was the first village to have reticulated water. In the democratic era since April 1994 individuals in the community continue to make a mark on the Political, Cultural, Business and Sporting landscape. As fourth and fifth generation of Kholvadians in South Africa enter this millennium, the challenge to keep and maintain the traditions of the Madressa will be even greater. A natural progression will see the links to Kholvad, India diminish with South African Kholvadians and similarly in other parts of the world. The affinity with the motherland will declines and has already ceased in some homes. The next decade and beyond will define the MAIK’s role and define its strategy to retain its current position as the dominant institution serving Kholvadians in South Africa and the Kholvadians in the Village. The Investments in South Africa are extremely well managed and the total structure and governance will ensure that the programmes that are in place will be supported for decades. Rapid changes are going to require sensible new approaches and we are confident that the Madressa will respond to the new challenges as it has over 100 years. Insha-ALLAH with the Benevolence and Grace of ALLAH SWT and through the wisdom and foresight of the pioneers, future generations are ensured to enjoy the opportunities. The leadership has held true to the constitution of the MAIK-SA and long may our leaders in future continue on the same noble path of service with integrity and Islamic Principles.
